I am very interested in this new technology but feel that I want to wait untill it has settled down, consumables seem a bit pricey, and as john says lots of unanswered questions.

Frank
I was sadly buying up some of the contents of an engineering firm in Cheltenham and the chap kept throwing into the back loads of black plastic saying you can have this lot free. mainly Akulon PTFE PP6 Din 16980. loads of black.
Now the next big Q is have you got a lathe and able to do ball turning, correct taps if it an old car think baybee BSW or BSP. if not send me a drawing, as I am in now my 70's will need to sneak into what was my/business/ workshop when my lads are gone.

Hi Ian have you got silvering or braising facilitites if so braise the cracks they canbe turned sgain and after painting will not be noticed.

Next ream out your holes for your crankpins
Push push them in
Then get a very small drill ensuring you have the correct wire available apart from loctite or similal will give a very solid fixing. do them in the rear and thry will not be spotted by tne rivet counters.

John,
And I would say do not exagerate you have never said that to me before. and I think you should get off your desk chair and get back into your workshop and business.
Oh ps.Diane apologies for spelling your name wrong was thinking of an old 60s record.

regards to all

Dear Diana,

I am deeply despondant that 35 pages plus a few half pages were adverts and only 41 pages were articlres, and 4 of of these were so full of maths of no use to man or beast. so are you hard stuck for articles....
